o3 is an amazing tool for prepping lecture slides . Want some illustrative examples? .- o3 has ideas. Need a chart?.-o3 can suggest 5. Maybe you, yourself need background reading.-o3 has cites . It's incredible + the ability to provide links eliminates hallucination concerns.

So we’re cutting off imports, kneecapping scientific discovery, halting funding of green infrastructure, reducing the immigrant workforce, battering tourism, and undermining the US dollar. So happy we’re making America great again.

This is horrific. This individual was deported by mistake. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled the administration must facilitate his return yet they won’t do it. This truly shocks the conscience. Republican or Democrat we should all be appalled.

So when is Jamie Dimon next scheduled to appear on Fox Business? I'm kind of ready for this to be over.

Look, if there’s one thing I learned from Biden’s presidency it’s that Americans actually want higher prices.

A couple of folks have crunched the numbers (Evercore ISI - their chart, below; @fcastofthemonth) and concluded that the U.S. weighted average tariff, with all Trump's new orders in effect, will be higher than under Smoot-Hawley.

Twice this week I’ve read econ papers that had the same findings as prior polisci publications yet failed to cite that work. One used the exact same data. If you’re an economist writing on polisci topics, maybe read the literature before claiming no one has looked at this?.

Can anyone recommend some great (undergrad friendly) readings on climate change politics in autocracies and/or the global south? Self-promotions always welcome!.

The picture that’s emerging suggests there are systemic issues with air traffic safety. I hope this tragedy will result in the necessary systemic changes and not simply a bandaid over whatever specific circumstances it’s eventually determined led to this precise incident.
